Friday Night Sew In

It is still Saturday in Reno NV where I am and even earlier in Honolulu.

Finishing this quilted journal cover was supposed to be my Friday Night Sew In project.

The fates were having none of it.

After all I only had to sew on 2 bindings. The butterfly blocks are an old UFO and I had the rest of the journal cover completed before I departed Australia. I did the binding on one edge at 6am Saturday morning and it seemed that was all I had for FNSin.

But wait modern technology found me some time.

I finished binding the top edge while having a SKYPE chat with DH in OZ. He doesn't like the video (neither does the computer) so as he was having Sunday morning coffee and I was having Saturday afternoon tea. We chatted about mundane matters and viola!!

I am so happy to have a posting for FNSin.

Hope you all had fun Terry

Friday Night Sew-in: Cotillion

My first Friday Night Sew-in project was to pickup a stalled project and see if comraderie inspired me.

And so to the story.

The roses are from my garden appropriate for a dance.

The stitching is a row of Dancing Dollies.

Roses for the Cotillion

I am hoping that by using this as my Sew-in project to get back into the quilt it is intended for.

My team was playing Friday Night Rugby League so maybe not quite as much accomplished as I hoped.

.Well it is Friday night in Paris and the house is still settled from Friday in Sydney still in bed.


I did another set of arms. I hope to finish during the rest of the weekends' football.


Thanks to Friday Night Sew-in I am back to stitching my cotillion girls.

Happy Stitching to All
